Acer president Scott Lin says his company has big plans for the tablet PC market, and today the company put on display its new Aspire 1420P tablet during a press event in China.

The sleek 11.6-inch tablet features a swiveling LED touchscreen with multitouch support, an Intel Celeron SU2300 processor (1.2GHz, 1MB L2 cache, 800MHz frontside bus), 2GB of DDR3 memory (expandable to 8GB), a 250GB hard drive, 802.11b/g/Draft-N, a multi-card reader, optional 3G support, and Windows 7.

According to the tablet's U.S. product page (yep, this one's headed for the States), the convertible display sports a built-in accelerometer that automatically rotates images so you can "use it as a photo frame, portable cinema, or the [as] the perfect presentation tool."

What the product page doesn't tell us is when the 1420P will be released and at what price

Thanks but no thanks. If I want a Tablet I will purchase a Lenovo Thinkpad X200. It has all of the above features, but with a Core 2 Duo low voltage processor, up to 500 GB HDD (or SSD drive), full size spill resistant KB, mobile broadband plus up to 9 hours on the extended batttery, 6 on the standad. Let's not forget the Thinkpad quality and reliabity, something that Acer can only dream about having.
